Ohio Markets and CC "Premium Choice"

[gr8oldies]

Two Dayton stations started using Clear Channel's "Premium Choice" voicetracking, WDKF "Channel 94-5" and WDSJ which just flipped from Smooth Jazz to Country, as "The Bull". The tracks are very generic, the announcer does not mention the station positioner. Supposewdly the playlists are the same. Is anyone hearing this in any other Ohio market so far? (Premium Choice will not be mentioned on the air). Same announcers, same time, playlists identical? Enquiring minds want to know.

NO COOKIE CUTTER CLONES OR ARCH-CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL RANTS

OR CC PAYS YOUR TOW

Yep WAKS in Cleveland, WAKZ in Youngstown, and WVKS in Toledo all running it in addition to near by WZKF Louisville, KY and WLKT Lexington, KY and surely others nationally.

The timing is different but within a few minutes of eachother it is the same log. Imaging and spots is the only difference.

How worthless.

I listened to KSNE for an hour while running errands today and the station's name nor call letters were used once.  Just, "The Variety Station," a slogan that the station has not recently used.  I had to check the frequency to make sure I was listening to the station I thought I was listening to.

Sounds just about the same as a sat format minus the "magic call" drops.  Wonder if the country playlist matches with WCOL or some of the smaller markets as well (i.e. the WCHO/WSRW-AM simulcast).  WKKJ Chillicothe is an oddball for CC as I think it's been on one of the sat-fed 24/7 country formats for years now.
